Total Eclipse of the Sun to be commemorated on a Forever Stamp

The USPS forever stamp depicting the total eclipse of the Sun went on sale today.
You can buy them online at the USPS site, or maybe at your local post office.

They are 16 for $7.84 (plus S&H if you buy online).

They are 'pressure sensitive' so the stamp changes when you touch it.

1. I did order some and am looking forward to getting them!

I will use some, and keep some for their historical value.

We will be seeing the solar eclipse later this summer!

2. Hi CAPeggy!

I still collect stamps too!
My family "hated on me" when I pulled out the stamp box to show a cool one!
Fun killers!

ps. I met a fan of yours! A person here on DU in person. Won't reveal but wanted you to know I'm a fan and so is the person!

3. Well, I don't actually "collect" them anymore!

I don't have any albums now.

And now you've got me curious! If you would, PM me who you met. That would be truly nice of you.

5. we are traveling to Kentucky to view it. The totality line is

on top of my little home town. We get to see the eclipse, visit family and friends and eat Kentucky barbecue.

I'll have to get a cachet of this stamp. hopefully I can get one at one of the local postoffices in the totality zone.
